Tata Motors company chief Ratan Tata said that a hybrid version of the diminutive Nano is on the way, according to Inside Line.

Tata said in an interview with a Korean newspaper that the company wants to build cars that are not only cheap to buy, but "as cheap to run as possible." He added that low-priced goods create stronger demand in India, a trend that could be mirrored across the world and one that "[makes] the development of globally relevant cars crucial," the report said.

There's no word yet on specs, cost, or a production date. This follows rumors last year that an all-electric version of the Tato Nano was also in the design stage.
